Steel Beasts ProPE - The Artillery Observer's Job
One thing that Steel Beasts has is that keeps you thinking. The modern mechanized/armored battlefield is lethal and humbling. Learn or be condemned to reload the scenario forever.
An M981 FISTV (Fire Support Team Vehicle) assumes a hull down position to acquire targets and call for indirect fire support.
I had the opportunity to play a coop scenario and was particularly impressed with a young virtual commander's use of a single computer-controlled FISTV.
According to him, the secret is the use of the contextual use of the defense order. I heard about this a time ago, but I only used during the setup/deployment stage. After deployment and when rounds started flying, I consistently forgot about it.
I went straight into the editor and created a simple scenario to try it out.
A FISTV and a M113 PC, facing some unknown danger to their north, just behind that hill.
Besides providing a sector of interest and an orientation, the defend order has also that circle that defines a point of reference that has to be visible to the defending vehicles or troops. In the example above, I'm instructing the FISTV to make sure...

Dominions 5 development has been going on for quite a while now and the game is getting close to finished. If everything goes according to plan, the game will be released on Steam at the beginning of November. Below is a list of some major things that are different in the new Dominions 5.
Bless Effects
goddesign A pretender god's bless effect can now vary wildly from one god to the next as you get to design the bless effect when creating the pretender. The magic paths and scales will restrict which bless effects are available and how many can be chosen. E.g. an arch mage with a low skill on many paths will be able to choose many different minor bless effects, while a pretender with only one high path skill can choose one powerful matching bless effect or a combination of lesser ones.
